With over 50 participants, you are surely to find wonderful inspiration through this blog hop. It makes a circle so if you are starting here just continue until you make your way back and you will have made it through them all. If you have already started and are coming fromMichelle John's blog, "My Flights of Fancy", then you are on the right track.Has it really been almost three months since my last posted creation?! Where have I been? The same place I alwasy am this time of year. The same reason my number of posts decreases this time of year. SCHOOL! I'm at a new school this year, because the school I was at the past 9 years closed this past summer. :( Also, this past year, our brilliant school board decided to add another class...another load of students (with only one 45 minute planning period)...to our already overloaded schedule. I spend so many hours planning lessons, grading papers, and just keeping my head above water, that I've had virtually zero creative time and I hate it! It's got me feeling so disconnected with my CTMH peeps and even my customers. :( Even as I prepare this post, I'm not certain what I'll create or when. So if you have arrived here and my picture isn't below, you'll know why. Just know that the picture is coming.

Supplies used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):

Stamps Used: IlluminateInks: Chocolate
